With the current state of the economy, IT executives are being asked to stretch their budgets in order to keep their businesses profitable. In 2008, Median IT spending per user fell to $6,667 from the previous year's $7,397, according to Computer Economics. This represents a 6.2% reduction, consistent with the fact that IT managers were supporting an increasing number of users without corresponding increases in IT spending. IT spend continued to decline in 2009 and uncertainty and caution is still prevalent in 2010.

- Disaster recovery and business continuity

In this e-book, we’ll introduce you to a solution many enterprises are adopting – direct interconnect to cloud providers within a colocation facility – and discuss the potential cost and performance advantages this option for streamlining hybrid IT connectivity can create.

The "build-or-buy" decision between construction and colocation should be weighed carefully. This executive report will review six key factors that affect that choice, some of which extend beyond a basic TCO analysis.

This colocation buyer’s guide includes a checklist of important factors to consider before choosing a provider, along with buying criteria to help you make the best decision for your infrastructure needs.

Now that the technology sector as a whole is becoming increasingly user friendly, transparent and hands on, it makes sense for colocation data centers to offer a higher level of insight and transparency into their clients’ individual environments.
